The Stoning of Soraya A Must See

Click on the title to read some reviews of the movie The Stoning of Soraya. The critics are confused I think! The issue is not to portray the villagers stoning Soraya as blood thirsty savages. The issue at hand is the fact that these people are dictated to by a blood thirsty religion and their culture. Islam and Sharia law seem all about violence. But don't take my word for it. Grab a copy of the Quran and some of the other Hadith writings and see for yourself. Then come explain to me why this movie is so politically incorrect. I await your comments!

Yikes! Beware the Evil Eye!

I found this on The Drudge Report and it is just too much. I mean, he's gotta be kidding right?? At least I thought so until I saw the pictures! I had a good friend who used to call a stare like that "the hairy eyeball." Whatever it is it certainly looks like he either doesn't like those he is with or at least disagrees with them. But don't take my word for it. Take a look at the pictures and see for yourself. But don't make direct eye contact! Whew! :)

How Do We Fix This Broken Dysfunctional Government?

Click on the title to read a powerful blog piece written by Doctor Zero from Hot Air. It reflects my anger at the House vote on Cap and Trade as well as other issues. I expected the Cap and Trade Bill to pass in the House. What I did NOT expect was 8 Republicans to vote for it and that their votes would get the bill passed (44 democrats voted no). Amazing. I feel like I live in Bizarro land. I mean, with friends like this who needs enemies?? I wonder how those Republicans feel today, knowing that they made this happen and that their names will live in infamy? I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall to hear the sweet deal/threat Nancy Pelosi promised them if they voted yes. I wonder what Michael Steele is thinking today, that the Republican Party allowed such a vote to happen? We still have a chance with the Senate so contact your senators immediately and insist they don't allow this bill to go forward. Time is of the essence!

Even more powerful and scary are the comments attached to this blog piece. Read each and every one of them. The distant thunder grows louder each day. Revolution?

Should We Forgive Mark Sanford?

Click on the title for a great article by Cal Thomas about forgiveness, adultery and politics. I couldn't have said it better myself!

A Strategy to Stop Government-Run Health Care and Improve America's Health Care

Click on the title to read an excellent memo by Representative Paul Ryan outlining Republican strategies to stop government-run health care and improve America's health care. It is lengthy but worth the read as it is the only document I have seen that outlines in detail how to reform private sector health care. You may not agree with everything (taxes on health care benefits) but at least it is thorough and lays out great talking points for discussion and debate. It doesn't just oppose the Dems ideas--it presents very doable alternatives. We all agree reform is critical--the real issue at hand is how to get there. I have said in the past that to avoid socialized medicine we must have a workable plan and Paul Ryan's plan is a great start. Above all we must not allow the Dems to ram rod their plan through without debate! If you haven't already done so contact your reps and demand they allow us our say!

Thoughts on Health Care Reform

Click on the title for a great discussion on how this administration's public health care plan compares to the Clinton plan from 1993. The author makes a good argument that health care reform has far more consequences than cap and trade because we can repeal cap and trade once we figure out it is a dumb idea. He seems to think that once we accept national health care there would be no turning back. I agree with him that government run health care would be worse than cap and trade for many reasons. But the biggest reason I think this is because the government would be intruding in our lives on the most personal level imaginable--our right to make our own health care decisions for ourselves and our loved ones. If we go to national health care our freedom of choice concerning health care would be gone forever. Besides if we go to national health care where will everyone who can't get the care they need in their own countries go? My my, oh dear oh dear! Check out that clause that allows for Canadians to get reimbursed for heath care obtained in the states! And pay very close attention to the first comment about what is actually covered under the Canadian plan--very revealing!

Climate Change Cover Up?

This in from Michelle Malkin's website concerning emails from scientists the EPA doesn't want seen as they are counter to the climate change policies that the current adminstration is trying to push through. Click on the title to read her piece and get the link to the emails. Then contact your reps immediately and make sure they know about these emails. Demand that they insist on a full accounting of the science behind the Climate Change Bill. If this bill goes through we will be living with the consequences for a very long time and they most likely will do more harm than good. It is critcal that decisions be made based on good solid science instead of emotional rhetoric. Flood your reps offices with phone calls TODAY!

Click on the link for some intriguing insights as to the difference between men and women leaders. The author ponders whether more women leaders would make a difference in the level of philandering that goes on among elected officials. Perhaps it would make a difference. Anthropological studies of cultures led by women show more family style governing practices and far less wars. But I still think that ultimately what it comes down to is the presence of a servant heart. If you are ultimately guided by self serving motives you are far more likely to be corrupted by power whether you are male or female.

Analysis:Why Do Politicians Cheat?

Click on the title to read a great article with some fascinating insights as to why politicians cheat. I agree with the author that deep self love coupled with the need for recognition and adoration is a huge reason at the heart of why politicians (and people in general) cheat. The bottom line is that they lack a true servant heart. They can't see beyond themselves and their own desires and happiness. If our leaders had true servant hearts what a difference it would make in our government! How does one obtain a servant heart? By realizing, as Rick Warren in his awesome book The Purpose Driven Life would tell us, that it is not about us. Our existence on this earth is for one purpose and one purpose only and that is to glorify God and to serve Him by serving others. When we start thinking it is for our own happiness we are seriously off track and in trouble. Maybe instead of charisma we should be looking for a servant heart in our current and potential leaders. How many leaders do you think we would find right now?

Surprise Hearing for Hate Crimes Bill

According to an email I recently received from The Pray In Jesus' Name Project and Newsmax, there will be a hearing Thursday June 25th from 10-11 am EST on the Hate Crimes Bill. Originally this bill was going to be passed as part of another legislative package without debate. This hearing is in response to pressure from pro-faith representatives. Now both sides will be heard. It is imperative you contact your reps TODAY to tell them not to support this bill.

Missile Defense Bill Vote Tomorrow

As you have, the Obama Administration wants to cut funding for this bill despite the threats from North Korea. The full House Vote is scheduled for tomorrow and the Senate is currently working on their version of the bill. Please contact your reps and tell them to maintain funding for Missile Defense. With the increased world threat we can't afford to cut our defenses now!

Climate Change Bill Vote Scheduled for Friday

Ok everybody look alive! The vote on the Climate Change Bill is scheduled for Friday. If you haven't already done so contact your reps to let them know what you think of this bill. Faxes, phone calls and emails do work! Keep it up!

I like what this says about the amount of information available on the internet about the realities of nationalized health care. Scroll down to my website list to find some of them, ie freemarketcure.com, and cprights.org. From there you can do your own search, see for yourself what is going on, and make your own decision. The critical thing is to make an informed decision.

Obama Most Hostile President Ever to Jews?

Click on the title to see an excellent article by Ronald Kessler. Concern continues to grow among Zionist leaders as to Obama's stance on Israel. No kidding! They should be concerned. Obama's actions in some areas and silence in others demonstrate more clearly by the day where his loyalities and sympathies lie. The larger question is what will the Jewish people do about it?

What In The Health Is Going On?

Here is another nice blog piece from The Memphis Tea Party Blog. Click on the title to read it and then scroll down to my blog list, click on the Memphis Tea Party link and enjoy other insightful pieces. I love the analogy to Alice In Wonderland because I have felt like Alice many times since the Obama administration took office--trying to perceive a fantasy world through the lens of human experience. I have often felt, as Alice did, that I can't find my feet. Indeed it is tough to stay grounded nowadays! If it weren't for my faith in God I think I would have floated away and disintegrated a long time ago!

The good news is that there are still ways to stay grounded. Faith in God, faith in our country, faith in each other and faith in our beliefs will help us stand firm against the rising storm. If you are not sure of your beliefs I invite you to do some soul searching. The beliefs and values that helped make this country great are timeless and still apply. But don't just take my word for it. Take the time to educate yourself. Start with the websites on my blog list that deal with history and health care. There are great books listed on these websites such as those in The American Vision that are reasonably priced. Get some and read them. Grab a Bible and read that too as it is the foundation of our Constitution and American values. Now is the time to start learning as there may come a time when opportunities to learn and think for yourself will be very limited. Only with education and enlightenment can we keep our freedom!

Poll Shows Americans Evenly Divided Over Urgency of Health Care Reform

Great article about how Americans feel about health care reform. Seems more accurate than the CBS poll.

Facinating poll. Wonder what the demographics and political beliefs were of those who responded? Since it was CBS gee I really wonder...

The Prevent Defense--Preventing a Win

Click on the title for a great piece from the Memphis Tea Party Blog. As I watch the events in Iran unfold on the news I wonder, as the author of this piece does, if we in America are ready and willing to put our lives on the line for our beliefs and values. Because that day is coming, and sooner than we think.

Jihadist Crashes Memorial for Arkansas Jihad Victim Shouting Jesus Was Muslim

Just when I think I have heard it all, something else comes along to make me think the whole world has just gone nuts. This horrible shooting happened just two and a half hours away from Memphis and the perpetrator was originally from Memphis. Considering this, it is astonishing how little press coverage the incident received. Unfortunately I think we are in for much more of this sort of thing. If after reading this article you still think we should be open to Islam in the name of tolerance and multiculturalism I would love to hear your comments. To all Muslims out there, we infidels might be more inclined to listen to you if you stop abusing women, stop the suicide bombing thing, stop chopping peoples heads off, and stop blowing things up. Above all, don't expect us to believe Islam is a peaceful religion when your actions tell us otherwise. Here in America actions speak louder than words!

Top Ten Rules in the Quran That Women Must See

Click on the title to read a fascinating article about rules from the Quran and the Hadith concerning women. Then you tell me how anyone can make a case that Islam promotes freedom, equality and respect for women. I would like to hear from anyone out there who can explain to me why any woman would find Islam attractive considering these rules. And don't tell me they are taken out of context. The Quran is pretty explicit and so is the Hadith.

Sotomayor Quits Elite Women's Club

Click on the title to read the article. Looks like Judge Sotomayor is following in Obama's footsteps. Just as he quit a church he belonged to for 20 years because it had become a political liability, so she is quitting a longtime membership in a club because it has become a distraction to the confirmation process. Hmmmm......What do you think? Just because she quits a club doesn't mean she has left behind her beliefs. Those beliefs will likely go with her to the Supreme Court. Write to your senators and demand they fight her confirmation!

Movie's Spotlight on Stoning Death Brings Abuse Out of the Shadows

Click on the title to read the article about the movie The Stoning of Soraya M. The subject of this movie--the stoning of a woman accused of adultery--should cause everyone in the world to be outraged. How can any religion claiming to worship God allow such things to happen to women? Why would women want to be a part of any religion that would subjugate them so thoroughly? How could Obama have the nerve to say to the world that women have the right to choose a life of tradition? It seems to me that most women in their right minds would run like the wind away from such a life if they had a choice. Is he that stupid that he thinks women in those cultures have a choice? More likely he knows full well that they don't. I wonder if he realizes that when he gave that speech saying women could choose, he actually opened the door for more abuses. As hard as it is, we need to face this issue squarely and fight like hell to make sure it never happens here. We should never tolerate any religion or lifestyle that espouses such cruel practices.

Census Workers Marking GPS Coordinates of US Homes

Wow...scary to think about and apparently it is true according to the US Census website. Click on the title to read the article. Seems a bit over the top and intrusive, no doubt done in the name of efficiency, modernization and all that sort of thing. I agree with the author, it is not exactly what our forefathers had in mind when they wrote The Constitution. Would they have written it the same way had they been able to see this far into the future? It's hard to say, but one thing I do know is that technology is neutral. Whether it is used for benign or malevolent purposes depends entirely on the user. That is why it is so critically important to elect the right people to office, the people who will ultimately control technology that will effect us all. Can you imagine GPS technology in the hands of ACORN or maybe even a world police? No place to run, no place to hide!

FDA Declares Cheerios a Drug

Glenn Beck: The Letter

Click on the title to read the letter from a woman in Arizona that has apparently ignited quite a firestorm. When I read it I realized it was a manifesto. After Glenn Beck read it on his program yesterday, the letter was made into a petition. The goal was to get 100,000 signatures. Within a short time they had to shut down the petition due to an overwhelming response! The petition/letter now has 75,000 signatures! There is a link to a petition next to the article. I encourage you to sign it and take a stand. You may be feeling like you are alone, like your efforts don't make a difference. But they do. Everytime you sign a petition, write a letter to the editor of your paper, join a tea party, contact your legislative reps, you add to the growing thunder of our collective voice. Always remember, there is strength in numbers and the voice of many is greater than the voice of one. Above all, you are not alone! People are waking up and speaking up all over the country. Join us!

Click on the title for another great piece on how control of the media is the first step to dictatorship. I haven't watched ABC news for two years, but now I am calling for everyone to boycott watching anything on ABC and to write, call, email ABC Headquarters to protest this ridiculous atrocity! The website is www.abcnews.com.

GOP, DEM Centrist Meet in Secret on Health Care Reform

Just more evidence why we need to stay on top of this issue. If you haven't already done so it is critical that you contact your reps and insist that health care reform must not include a public plan. Most of the discussions and deals take place informally, over lunch and in small meetings. We must make sure we stand strong and speak with one voice, so loud and so overwhelming that we cannot be ignored. The time is now!

White House Distances Self From Kennedy Bill

Wonder what it feels like to be thrown under the bus? Maybe we should ask Senator Ted Kennedy. At least we have firm numbers from the Congressional Budget Office as to how much Obama Care will cost us. When you contact your reps use these numbers as rationale as to why we need to focus on reform that lowers cost, increases access and provides quality of care. These numbers demonstrate that government run health care will only add to our deficit. And we the people are the ones who will pay--and suffer--for it.

Obama vs the AMA

So that's how it's going to be.

Whoever opposes Obama gets the "isolate--marginalize--demonize" treatment. Only the strong will survive. It may look like the only way to get along is to go along but those who have tried that route aren't doing so hot. Bet they wish they had just stood their ground. Sometimes that is the only way to stand against a tyrant.

ABC Obama Network?

OMG....I never thought I would see the day when a US news network would be so blatantly biased for the government. A free press ensures freedom. When the media is so biased that they help propagate a policy for the government, that is the path to tyranny. I wonder what the broadcasters will think one day when they and their loved ones have to deal with government run health care on a personal level? I wonder if they will have any regrets?

Wrong Way on Health Care Reform

Click on the title for a great article by Robert J. Samuelson explaining why Obama's approach to reform should be on controlling health care costs rather than providing coverage for everyone. I couldn't have said it better myself! Until we get the actual cost of health care under control we will never have true reform, no matter how many people we try to cover.

Otherwise I would be screaming "where were you during the elections?!?!?" While it may not be clear whether Obama himself is Muslim, the larger issue at hand is where his loyalties lie. I fear the Jewish people in America are discovering it is not with them and it is certainly not with Israel.

Stockpiling Food to Prepare for Dickensian Scenes of Destitution

It makes good sense to always be prepared for disaster. For example this past Friday severe storms and a tornado hit the greater Memphis, TN area with winds reaching 80 mph. The power was out in our neighborhood for almost 24 hours. About 77,000 people in the Greater Memphis Area lost power and many people won't have power back on for a week. As a result of this power outage, many of us lost refrigerated and frozen foods. With food prices sky high that is a loss that most of us can ill afford. Click on the title to get some excellent ideas on how to stockpile food and what foods to have on hand in case of disaster. Having at least a three day supply of canned and non-perishable foods on hand could make a big difference in your ability to survive and thrive in hard times and disasters. Now is the time to start planning your food supply while there is plenty available!

Dems Advance Health Care Proposals

Alright everyone, look alive! Click on the title to read the article. This is YOUR health care at stake here and it is in the hands of legislators as we speak. A hotly contested issue is the possible addition of a public plan, ie a government plan to the mix of reforms they are working on now. Remember a government plan can only lead to socialized medicine. Contact your reps and tell them NO GOVERNMENT PLAN! NO SOCIALIZED MEDICINE! And above all, NO REFORM WITHOUT THE MEANS TO PAY FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Comrade Obama"

Yep it takes one to know one!

My brother sent me this one. He is the quiet type and, unlike me, not given to expressing his opinion every chance he gets. So when he sends an article and says it is important I pay attention. Click on the title to read this very excellent article summing up the situation in North Korea and explaining why our current efforts at diplomacy, which have always worked in the past, may not be enough now.

How Dare Dick Cheney Defend Bush?

My sister contributed this one. Click on the title for a great piece by David Limbaugh. This is more evidence of the "isolate-marginalize-demonize" strategy of this current administration. I don't know about you but to me it is getting very old very quickly. I keep waiting for them to "man up" and own the problems that we have now but I am not holding my breath. The only way they will abandon this tactic is if it no longer works. We can make sure it doesn't work by recognizing the strategy for what it is and never letting it influence our decisions. We must keep this administration accountable for its actions and decisions.

Deliver on Health Care?

Obama has started his campaign to get the senate and congress to "deliver" on health care. Click on the title for details. The comments attached to this article are good, both pro and con. Check out the comments by rpeggy39 and bunfight in particular concerning the Canadian health care system. It is very revealing! It is really too bad that Obama chose to interject his will on the process as it appeared to be going in a good bipartisan direction until he got involved. It is imperative that you contact your reps and demand that they stand up to him and let the senate, congress and THE AMERICAN PEOPLE resolve this issue. Remember we are talking about 17% of our GNP here. As health care goes, so goes our economy! Stay vigilant and stay on top of the issue! Contact your reps TODAY!

PRUDEN: 'Inner Muslim' at Work in Cairo

Wesley Pruden thinks that Obama released his "inner Muslim" in his Cairo speech. Click on the title to read his editorial. The comments attached contain a wide variety of responses both supportive and non-supportive and are worth the read. Is Obama lying about his Muslim roots to keep non-Muslims from discovering his ulterior motives (world domination, Islam as one true world religion, etc etc)? Or is he just deeply conflicted about whether he is Christian or Muslim? Do you think he is sincerely trying to reach out to everyone or is he just pandering for the sake of political expediency? You decide and then tell me what you think. I await your comments!

Obama to Exert Greater Control Over Health Care Reform

It looks like Obama is working to exert more influence over the health care reform process. Click on the title for more details. He will be campaigning again with town hall meetings trying to win support for a public plan. Now more than ever it is critical that you contact your reps and tell them to say no to socialized medicine, a plan that will bankrupt the country!

Chance for Bipartisan Health Care Bill Dim After Obama Insists on Public Plan

It looked like there might be a chance for a bipartisan health care bill until Obama had to ruin it by insisting that a public plan be one of the options. Click on the title for details, then immediately contact your reps and demand they insist on free market solutions to health care reform! Remember as health care goes, so goes the rest of the economy as we are talking about 17% of our GNP here. We desperately need health care reform and it needs to be number one on our domestic agenda. But we must aggressively seek free market and private sector solutions to cut costs, increase access and provide quality care.

Obama and Israel

Obama seems determined to throw Israel under the bus. Click on the title for details. Perhaps if he had studied the Scriptures for twenty years instead of soaking up hate filled rhetoric at the feet of Rev Wright he would have learned why it is not a good idea to mess with Israel. The people of Israel are the apple of God's eye. We touch the apple at our own peril. Don't take my word for it. Study the scriptures and see for yourself.

No You Can't Obama!

Seems like the Israelis see Obama for who he really is. Wonder when the rest of the world will wake up? I have heard it said that it will take time for people in America to wake up and see. I only hope it will not be too late.

Obama Wants Us to Turn In Our Old Cars?

In his speech yesterday Obama indicated he was calling on Congress to enact fleet modernization legislation to create more fuel efficient cars and to provide a generous 750 dollars to those turning in their old cars. Click on the title to see a good post from Juan Paxety with the details. Pay particular attention to the comment from VWmama. Notice Obama said "turning in" instead of "trading in." Hmmm...one wonders if this is just semantics or if he really means we will have to turn in our old cars. Afterall, the government now owns 60-70% (depending on what source you get the numbers from) of GM and Chrysler. Somebody's got to buy those cars and I am willing to bet that if American's don't voluntarily buy them they eventually, through legislation and regulation, will be forced to buy them. This proposed fleet modernization legislation is a perfect example of legislation that could so easily lead to totalitarianism. Totalitarian leaders and governments operate by forcing their agendas on people, telling them "it's good for you, good for your country and good for the world." They can usually get people to go along in the beginning because it all sounds so good. Things may work well at the start but over the course of time the true nature is revealed. By the time people wake up and realize how much they have lost it is too late.

Now, more than ever, we need to educate ourselves about the difference between democracy, totalitarianism, socialism and communism and we need to pass our knowledge on to our children and grandchildren. We stand to lose our freedom and democracy forever if we don't! Contact your reps and tell them you will not tolerate any legislation that could rob you of your freedom of choice!

The Washington Post a Model for the Media?

I never thought I would see the day when the Washington Post, long one of the very bastions of liberal thought, would become a model for fair and balanced reporting. Click on the title for details. I applaud Katherine Weymouth, the publisher, for having the smarts to realize that fair and balanced reporting sells news. I myself had noticed the change in perusing articles for this blog. I thought I was imagining things until I saw this article today. I am originally from the DC area and grew up reading the Post. I stopped reading it because it had become too biased. But now I think I will actually enjoy reading my old hometown newspaper again. And that's a wonderful thing!

GOP to Roll Over for Sotomayor?

There is so much being written and spoken about Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court that I hardly know where to begin. Click on the link to this post from Hot Air to get an idea of how I feel about this situation. The author says it all better than I can at this point. All you GOP reps and leaders out there should particularly check out the comments, as they all state how I feel about GOP reps rolling over on this nomination.

I particularly agree with the commenter austinnelly who states that she (Sotomayor) will be confirmed but we should make the dems work for it. I agree, make them sweat and bleed. Get every last detail about this woman's record out on the table. Get it on tape. That way when our children and grandchildren ask us how someone like her could have been confirmed to the Supreme Court we can look back and at least say we fought like hell to keep it from happening. They will know we stood up for our principles so that we could pass them on to future generations who will need them to fight the inevitable injustice and tyranny that will result from the type of court she will represent. In the meantime find out all you can about Sotomayor. Check out the website www.aboutsotomayor.com. Contact your senators and insist that they stand up for their principles and cast their vote according to her record and nothing else.
